Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Physically isolated from the rest of New York City, the only borough with no direct roadway to Manhattan, the smallest in population, and the most rural, Staten Island is probably the least known of the five boroughs and perhaps the most misunderstood. Carol V. Wright's readable, affectionate, amusing tribute takes you straight to the Island's heart, exploring its monuments, its open spaces, and its maritime heritage, as well as meeting memorable characters from Vanderbilt's to vagrants to seventeen-year cicadas. Whether you are visiting Staten Island for a few hours on the ferry or have lived there all your life, you will surely enjoy this book. Artikel-Nr. 9781905131563
